Tracking asbestos waste using WasteLocate

Asbestos transporters and facilities receiving asbestos waste in NSW weighing more than 100 kilograms, or consisting or more than 10 square metres of asbestos sheeting in one load must track and report this waste to the EPA using WasteLocate.

You need an internet-connected tablet or smartphone
running the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari
browsers. For best results, ensure you are using the latest version of your
browser.

WasteLocate can also be
accessed from desktop and laptop computers but if you are transporting asbestos
waste you will need a tablet or smartphone. You will also need a standard QR
scanning app as WasteLocate uses QR2id codes, similar to standard QR codes.

Create a unique
EPA consignment ID for each new load of asbestos by logging onto WasteLocate and following the
on-screen prompts to record details. You can create consignments to be
collected immediately or scheduled for pick up later.

When you arrive at
the waste facility, you must scan
the QR2id plate displayed at the gate or weighbridge and log into WasteLocate
to confirm delivery. If there is more than one consignment on board,
WasteLocate makes it easy to choose the one or more loads being delivered.

You must have a
QR2id plate or plates prominently displayed for asbestos transporters to scan.
Order and pay for these from the WasteLocate website.

You do not have to register with WasteLocate to do this. If you prefer, call Amtak
Professional Services on 1800 420 380 or email WasteLocate@QRid.com to order and
purchase plates.

The plate or
plates will display your unique QR2id code, which drivers must scan to confirm
delivery. Ensure the plate is displayed prominently at your entrance or
weighbridge and is easily accessible.
